Hi everyone,

I wanted to follow up and let you all know that Sazzy has recovered completely from his coughing. The tracheal wash came back with an odd type of bordatella. Sazzy had to be on a combination of Clavamox and Baytril for 8 weeks. He had treatment for his aspiration pneumonia also and that was rather intensive treatement for two weeks.

His cough is completely gone. I dont think we could have gotten to diagnosis without the tracheal wash. He has even more energy (who knew!) and he is himself.

This was expensive (+$2K) but worth it.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and kind thoughts. Love,

-Karen
